Who was Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and fellow artist, whom she married in 1924?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's husband and fellow artist was photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

O'Keeffe and Stieglitz married in New York City in 1924. Stieglitz was a major photographer, gallery owner, and promoter of modern art in the United States. He exhibited O'Keeffe's work at his influential New York gallery, known first as 291 and later by other names.

Their relationship was both personal and professional. Stieglitz photographed O'Keeffe extensively, while O'Keeffe became a major figure in the artistic circle surrounding his galleries. Their correspondence and photographs are now important parts of the historical record of American modernism.

Stieglitz is sometimes remembered mainly as O'Keeffe's husband, but he had an independent career. He helped introduce European avant-garde art to American audiences and championed artists such as Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove, and John Marin.
